Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice about 2 lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, pepper, and paprika until well combined.

  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  5. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
